Thank you for this article. As a Western feminist, I always feel uncomfortable when reading purely Western interpretations of Muslim (or any culture) women's experiences. But it always seems like (non-Femen) Muslim perspectives are difficult to come across in the mainstream. I really appreciated reading your perspective.

Do you know of any other authors/articles/sources I could go to for a more nuanced discussion of these issues than the mainstream provides?
